Guess what people!!!!
I received my book in the mail today!!! You know, the one that I'm going to read and the review on here!!! I'm so excited!!! I'm not going to tell you what it is until I publish my review so that I can keep you in suspense (tee hee) and so that I won't get my hopes up (if it ends up to be a not-so-great book...which hopefully I won't have to worry about that!) I'm super excited to read it!
So today I started a new adventure. It's a pretty exciting one too. On Wednesdays I have 3 1/2 hours between my first and second classes, so instead of just sitting there bored out of my brains I've decided to volunteer my time someplace. Originally I had thought about volunteering at the Christian school here, but they didn't need the extra help, but they did tell me of another place to look.
It's called Double Edge Resale. It's a thrift/resale shop that is affiliated with the Christian school (which I think is totally AWESOME and such a great idea) that runs solely on volunteered help. Every person that works there volunteers their time and doesn't get paid (which doesn't really help when you're looking for a paying job) and everything the store makes in revenue is given to the school! They even have the students from the school come and help out sometimes. Isn't that a neat idea? I wish my school had something like that when I was going.
Today was my first day there. There had been this very long and rather confusing correspondence between my mother, the school's office manager, the store's owner, and myself and it was difficult to figure out exactly what was being said and to whom (especially because it was all taking place through email) so today after my first class I stopped by Double Edge and introduced myself and basically just got rid of the whole need for the emailing because now we all know what is going on! Haha! I thought I was just going to be introducing myself and clearing all the confusion, but I ended up staying for a while and doing some work. Oh my goodness. I never thought I would have so much fun working! It was a blast, even though I was working by my lonesome. Seriously the only other "being" in the room was the radio...who was only there in voice. But still, it was a lot more fun than any of my previous jobs. Maybe because I knew that the people I was working with were Christians and that the store had an awesome ministry purpose. I had to leave for a bit, but I'm planning on going back later today before my evening class. I'm so glad I have this opportunity!
Tonight I'm going over to a friend's house to have a movie marathon and we're definitely going to be making cinnamon rolls! Mmmm!!! I can't wait!!!
I hope you all have a good evening too!!
